UNSPSC 50407019: Chrysanthemum greens

The type of vegetable known as chrysanthemum greens

UNSPSC 50407019 Chrysanthemum greens, a Commodity code, represents a narrow produce line that state and local governments acquire primarily through school nutrition and institutional food service contracts rather than direct procurement of this specific vegetable. Recent solicitations show minimal direct demand for chrysanthemum greens standing alone; instead, state and local buyers source fresh produce under broader commodity classifications that encompass greens, leafy vegetables, and fresh produce assortments as components of larger food service contracts. The code sees activity concentrated in school districts, state correctional agencies, and county education systems that procure comprehensive fresh produce inventories for child nutrition programs, USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program initiatives, and institutional meal service operations.

Recent state and local procurement activity under produce-related codes reveals substantial institutional demand across Georgia, Texas, and other jurisdictions, though chrysanthemum greens specifically appears rarely as a line-item specification. Representative recent solicitations include the Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (due July 29, 2026), Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables (due June 22, 2026), Dougherty County Board of Education's sealed bid for fresh produce (due June 16, 2026), and Northside Independent School District's RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce for child nutrition (due May 7, 2026). School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, followed by state departments of criminal justice, counties, and municipal food service agencies across Georgia, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, Utah, and Missouri. While greens and leafy vegetables appear frequently in aggregate produce procurement, chrysanthemum greens as a discrete item receives minimal explicit specification, suggesting limited standalone market or potential inclusion only as a substitute or specialty item within broader fresh-produce contracts.
